Performance Report for FY 2009/10 Executive Summary Background NGOs and CBOs have over the years made significant contributions to increasing people’s access to safe water and better sanitation. This has been done through mobilizing and building the capacity of communities to demand, use and sustain efficient water and sanitation services and through, the provision of physical infrastructure, and supporting both relief/emergency and long-term water and sanitation programmes. The national umbrella organisation of NGOs and CBOs in water and sanitation sector, the Uganda Water and Sanitation NGO Network (UWASNET), reports annually on the NGO performance and contribution to Uganda’s Water and Sanitation Sector and feeds to the overall annual Water and Environment Sector Performance Report of the Ministry of Water and Environment. The report is based on data submitted by NGOs and CBOs in the Water and Sanitation Sector. A total of 104 NGOS and CBOs constituting 57 % of UWASNET members submitted data. This indicates progressive increase in NGO and CBO reporting from 41% and 53% in 2007/8 and 2008/9 respectively. In order to capture contributions from all NGOs and CBOs in the sector, UWASNET is encourage reporting by all NGOs and CBOs irrespective of registration status as a member organisation. Annex 1 presents all NGOs and CBOs who have submitted data for this report. To encourage report, other CSOs that have not submitted data have also been indicated. As observed in the 2009 report, most NGOs who were operating under emergency humanitarian response have now moved to mainstream CSO developmental work. Consequently, whereas in the past UWASNET and the WASH Cluster reported separately, this year the UWASNET reports incorporated data from 13 out of 24 (54%) WASH Cluster members operating in Northern Uganda. Investments During FY 2009/10. a total of UGX 18.5 billion was in invested by UWASNET and WASH cluster member, reflecting a decrease of UGX 0.7 billion from last years total investment of UGX 19.2 billion. The was a decrease in investment by WASH Cluster members from UGX 3.2 billion in FY 2008/9 to UGX 3 billion. The decrease is associated with reduction of total investment in the WASH cluster following the return of IDPs to their villages. Despite the increase in number of NGOs reporting there is decrease in the UWASNET investment from UGX 16 billion during the FY 2008/9 to UGX 15.5 billion during the FY 2009/10. One of the reasons for the decrease in total investment by the UWASNET members is the global credit crunch.The other is that many donors have since changed strategy from supporting individual NGOs to preferring to support consortiums of organisations. However it must also be noted that not all reporting NGOs/CBOs indicated their investments. Gaps in reporting therefore continue to be a major bottleneck in defining NGO investment into the subsector. Investment in water supply was UGX 13.8 billion (74%); Sanitation and hygiene NGOs in the Ugandan Water and Sanitation Sector | 16
Performance Report for FY 2009/10 promotion UGX 2.7 billion (15%); Community management UGX 1.7 billion (9%); IWRM UGX 0.2 billion (1%) and Water for production UGX 0.1 billion (1%) of the total investment. As is often the case, most of the investment went into water supply sub-sector (often as a result of high costs associated with construction or rehabilitation of water facilities) with sanitation and hygiene accounting for only 12% (often associated with software promotion activities). Under the water supply subsector, high investments were made in the construction of piped water schemes (UGX 4.479 billion) and construction of boreholes (UGX 4.05 billion). Under Sanitation, high investments were made in the construction of school toilets (for boys, girls and teachers; UGX 1.215 billion) and installation of hand washing facilities. There was high investment in household toilet construction as a form of demonstration of technologies (UDDT ecosan, sky-loos, fossa alterna, arbo loo) or outright support to disadvantaged families as in the very poor elderly, people living with HIV/AIDS, and Child-headed households thus putting exceptions to the government policy of no subsidy for household sanitation. Under Community management, high investments have been made towards functionality and sustainability of water supply facilities reflected through training of WUCs (UGX 354.67 million). UGX 271.65 million was spent on Community meetings that discuss among others issues of community participation, ownership of facilities as well as improved sanitation and hygiene behaviour. The strategy of improving sanitation through School health clubs and community health clubs is increasingly being adapted constituting 18% (UGX 311.62 million) of the investment in Community Management. Other major expenditures under community management include follow-up support activities (UGX 118.21 million); training artisans for construction of water supply facilities (UGX 67.86million) and artisan for construction of sanitation facilities (UGX 30.95 million) and training of Handpump mechanics (UGX 25.09 million). Based on sector guidelines for computing populations served, 472,894 persons were served under the water supply sub sector. Unit costs There has been an increase in unit cost for borehole construction by UGX 2.076 million largely as a result of rising costs of materials for borehole construction. For other technology options, other than the expected variations, there are no major differences in unit cost between FY 2008/9 and FY 2009/10. Comparing unit cost for borehole construction between GoU and CSO, The GoU Unit Cost is more by UGX 1.504. This is a slight difference considering amounts involved. Functionality Functionality of water sources continues to be one of the core focus areas on NGOs and CBOs for both existing water sources and new sources being developed. In order to improve functionality, NGOs have sensitised the communities, encouraged them to participate in the water projects and own the new water sources. The ownership is hoped to be achieved by having communities, contribute towards capital costs (outside IDP camps). Other efforts by the NGOs will include; formation and training of water source management committees, training and equipping of Hand pump mechanics, formation of Hand pump mechanics’ associations as well as holding dialogue meetings that bring together service providers and beneficiary communities. In urban areas, the Citizens’ Report Card and the Community Score Card process have not only improved governance, transparency and communication within the water service system but also access and service delivery.
